STORE MANAGER - TOM SCARGILL

Tom has spent ten years working in the wine industry. His first love was Bordeaux but subsequent trips around the world of wine have left him with a fascination at the endless delights possible from fermented grapes! Current favourites are the wines of Portugal, New Zealand and the lesser-known regions of southern France.

Tom’s favourite wine? Whatever suits the meal before him. Matching food and wine is one of his favourite pastimes, so joining the team at Whitmore & White was a natural fit. Tom has since developed his long suspected but hitherto unrealised obsession with cheese. Once again it’s the produce of France that he admires most.

The highlight of any working week for Tom is the opportunity to host a wine tasting. His relaxed but informative approach has proved popular in Frodsham with tastings selling out very quickly. He also makes a mean G&T, so drop by on a Friday night and see what his tipple of the week is.

Events

We have a busy calendar of events here in Frodsham. Whether you're looking for a wine tasting, gin tasting, whisky tasting or Champagne, we host an array of different tastings all year, usually on a Saturday evening. We are regularly visited by wine importers and producers from all over the world who host tastings with us, and we always take the opportunity to show off our fantastic food alongside our wine! Well, why wouldn't we?

You can book places on our forthcoming tasting evenings here online, or call into the shop. You can also purchase Tasting Vouchers to give someone a great experience as a gift!

We also offer private tastings in store for groups, corporate clients and specialist event organisers. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Let's face it, everybody loves a good sale and we're no different - who doesn't love grabbing a bargain?!

Well here's the thing... it isn't. So we're not doing that... Continue reading →
